Wisdom from God in the End Times

 The stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
“At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. Mk 13:25–26 NIV

Do you understand this prediction of Jesus that the stars of heaven will fall? Neither do I, but if we only believe in what we can understand, then we no longer believe in God, whose wisdom is much higher than our limited understanding.

Jesus says that he will come back from heaven bodily and visibly. If we don't want to believe this because it seems too strange, then we limit ourselves to our small human minds.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Is 55:8–9 NIV

In this time of crisis, many Christians want to hold on to familiar, conventional Bible teachings. We must not abandon our biblical faith, but when our conventional theology is inadequate to explain current events, we need to seek God's wisdom in the Bible.

It will not help if we only look to the Bible for confirmation of our favourite conspiracy theories, or if we only study with our human minds. Only the Holy Spirit can be a reliable guide in confusing times.

Will Jesus come again? He has promised so many times. But do you understand how, where and when he will appear?

We must seek wisdom from God and trust God Himself in our uncertainty.
